Shifting from Windows to macOS

I first used windows 95 operating system in the year 1995 when I
was 7 years old. Computers seemed like something from the future at that time. At
that age, like any child, all I was interested in were games. I remember when
people used to see me start and shut down computers, they used to be very
impressed. I can say I have seen windows growing with me. I have used windows
95, 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7 and 10. I have always felt that windows operating
system has been very much messy. It’s very intimidating for a new user. Also,
after using the operating system on a certain machine, it starts to become clunky,
slower and annoying. But never the less we have always used the windows OS on computer
machines because of two reasons. First reason was because it was the free. It
wasn’t free because Microsoft gave it for free, but we used to crack it. I have
never paid for any of the windows I have used. Rather it seemed funny to me
paying for something that you can have for free. There was always a way to
crack the windows OS. The second reason was that the programs that we used to
run on windows could also be cracked. The programs that we can run on windows have
grown over the years exponentially and someone somewhere out there has already
cracked it as well. So, it won’t be incorrect to say that I used windows like
played in my backyard.

I shifted from android to iOS a year ago and to my amazement I
have found it to be very easy, snappy and amazing experience unlike android. Although
you are restricted by the iOS but if you are not a pro and just want to use the
cellphone like an amateur then it’s the best OS out there. Shifting to iOS made
me open to the idea of shift to mac OS. So, I bought the MacBook laptop.
It has been a week, I have been using Mac OS and I have almost forgot windows
to be honest. I don’t know why windows never thought to make their operating
system work like mac OS does. There are many things in both operating system
that are overlapping and I won’t go into the discussion that who started which
feature first but mac OS does same thing in a very intuitive way. I thought
that this transition would be painful, but it has been exact opposite of that. Everything
is easy, well integrated, swift and overall gives satisfaction while using the
machine. The interface, machine’s performance in terms of optimization with the
OS and in turn the work flow is a pleasurable experience. I remember the first
computer we had was called 486 after the intel processor chipset in it and it
took time to boot. My father at that time used to say that a day will come when
you’ll press the button and the computers will start instantly within blink of
an eye. Although computers are still not at that point but Macbooks are pretty
much close to this experience. You have to pay premium for this experience, but
it is worth every penny. I know understand the phrase once you go mac, you
never go back.
